Abstract:
Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogen that has the ability to cause a wide range of diseases including superficial infection and severe invasive life threatening infections. The pathogenicity of S. aureus is mediated by a group of virulence factors that mediate the colonization and penetration. The antibiotic resistance of S. aureus has evolved due to the abuse of antibiotics rendering the cure of infection very difficult especially with the shortage in new antibiotic production. To combat this shortage, repurposing of FDA-approved drugs against the virulence factors is a new strategy. The analgesic drug Diclofenac was found to have anti-virulence activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Proteus mirabilis. This study aimed to demonstrate the anti-virulence effect of diclofenac against clinical MRSA isolates phenotypically and genotypically using qRT-PCR.
